DAVY VIEW

Associated British Foods’ (ABF) outlook statement points to a stellar cash performance as the global Primark estate resumes trading.

Considering the scale of dislocation across the retail sector, the statement illustrates the strong franchise value of the Primark brand. We reiterate our ‘Outperform’ rating.
